New violence erupted in Ukraine's capital during the night as a large crowd attacked a government exposition and conference hall where police were stationed inside.

Another top opposition figure, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, said Saturday that the protests will continue despite the offer by embattled President Viktor Yanukovych to make him prime minister.

Those laws ignited clashes between police and protesters a week ago at a site near the Ukrainian parliament, about a 10-minute walk from Independence Square.

The opposition also is demanding early presidential elections.

The offer came hours after the head of the country's police, widely despised by the opposition, claimed protesters had seized and tortured two policemen before releasing them. The opposition denied it and said Interior Minister Vitali Zakharchenko was making a bogus claim in order to justify a police sweep against protesters.

On Saturday, about 100 protesters briefly occupied the headquarters of the energy ministry in downtown Kiev.
